Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!
The initial 1971 mall is shown in black on this circa-1973 plan. An addition (in dark gray) includes a fourth anchor and brings the gross leasable area of the facility up to around 1,940,000 square feet. There are now 189 stores and services.
